Hopefully, the 4870 will have a dual-slot cooler. Even though I'll watercool it eventually.]]>Jun 19th 2008 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/rv770-based-amd-radeon-hd-4850-gets-benchmarked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/rv770-based-amd-radeon-hd-4850-gets-benchmarked/

but the last few video cards i bought either nvidia or ati have ad heat problems that' y i got the water cooling any how plus i like the lack of fan noise ]]>Jun 19th 2008 11:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/rv770-based-amd-radeon-hd-4850-gets-benchmarked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/rv770-based-amd-radeon-hd-4850-gets-benchmarked/
Overclocked 8800 GT < 9800 GTX < 4850 < 260 < 280

with prices of
$180, $300, $200, $400, and $650

I'd say out of these, i'm getting a 4850 (wait for dual slot though, lower temps and increase overclock). The 8800 gt might seem like a better deal, but remember we're comparing the overclocked 8800 gt to a stock 4850]]>Jun 19th 2008 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/rv770-based-amd-radeon-hd-4850-gets-benchmarked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/rv770-based-amd-radeon-hd-4850-gets-benchmarked/
A little basic comparison...

HD 4850 < 9800GTX < GTX 260 < GTX 280

Lets see how the hd4970 fares. Hopefully better.]]>Jun 19th 2008 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/rv770-based-amd-radeon-hd-4850-gets-benchmarked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/rv770-based-amd-radeon-hd-4850-gets-benchmarked/
$200 < $269 < $400 < $659

As for the 4870, well, seeing as the 4850 gives me essentially 9800 GTX performance at a $70 discount, I'd say as long as the 4870 comes out with similar performance/cost gains, I'm all for it.]]>Jun 19th 2008 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/rv770-based-amd-radeon-hd-4850-gets-benchmarked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/rv770-based-amd-radeon-hd-4850-gets-benchmarked/Jun 19th 2008 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/rv770-based-amd-radeon-hd-4850-gets-benchmarked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/rv770-based-amd-radeon-hd-4850-gets-benchmarked/
So, the 4850 performs on par with a card that costs $70 more? And we, the consumers, are complaining about ATi's low-end next gen card doing this why?]]>Jun 19th 2008 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/rv770-based-amd-radeon-hd-4850-gets-benchmarked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/rv770-based-amd-radeon-hd-4850-gets-benchmarked/Jun 19th 2008 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/rv770-based-amd-radeon-hd-4850-gets-benchmarked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/rv770-based-amd-radeon-hd-4850-gets-benchmarked/Jun 19th 2008 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/rv770-based-amd-radeon-hd-4850-gets-benchmarked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/rv770-based-amd-radeon-hd-4850-gets-benchmarked/

Now, imagine what two 4870 ($299) can do: 1GB GDDR5 FTW.

From everything I've read I'm always under the impression that Nvidia cards are the "American" muscle of videocards. They are huge, consume a lot of power and are just not elegant. ATI on the other hand is more efficient and elegant in the way it handles things. I could be wrong but that's always the idea I get.]]>Jun 19th 2008 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/rv770-based-amd-radeon-hd-4850-gets-benchmarked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/rv770-based-amd-radeon-hd-4850-gets-benchmarked/
Intel throws massive amounts of research into things like 45nm proceses while AMD tries making "true" quad cores, gets them to market 9 months later, then gets their ass kicked. Sure, their solution was more elegant, but unless they stack 2 "true quadcores" on top of each other (intel syle) to make an octo-core processor, they will continue to get their asses handed to them.

PS: Nvidia FTW!]]>Jun 20th 2008 4:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/rv770-based-amd-radeon-hd-4850-gets-benchmarked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/rv770-based-amd-radeon-hd-4850-gets-benchmarked/Jun 19th 2008 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/rv770-based-amd-radeon-hd-4850-gets-benchmarked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/rv770-based-amd-radeon-hd-4850-gets-benchmarked/
